About HQIAX

The Hartford Equity Income Fund is an open-end mutual fund focused on large-cap value equity investing. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of current income while also pursuing long-term capital growth. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in U.S. and select foreign companies with market capitalizations above $2 billion. It concentrates on dividend-paying stocks, emphasizing quality firms with sustainable and growing dividend streams. The portfolio is constructed using in-depth fundamental analysis, targeting companies that exhibit above-average yields, below-average valuations, and the potential for future dividend increases. Managed in partnership with Wellington Management, the fund incorporates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in its investment process when relevant. With a broad sector allocation and a disciplined value approach, the Hartford Equity Income Fund plays a significant role in providing investors with relatively stable income and diversification within equity markets. It benchmarks its performance against indices such as the Russell 1000 Value Index and is recognized within the large value fund category for its risk-adjusted performance and consistent income generation.
